Join us for an engaging seaside exploration where children will develop mathematical skills through exciting activities such as sorting beach items by size, shape, and color, counting shells and pebbles, and investigating patterns. They'll enhance their literacy through stories, songs, and role play in a fish shop or ice cream van. The project includes learning about coastal ecosystems, pollution, and geography, fostering curiosity and environmental awareness. Prepare for fun at the beach while learning important life skills like teamwork, decision-making, and communication!
